Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 104 Lu Bu is coming
  Jian Shuo wanted to let the substitute experience some risks, and took the opportunity to intimidate him so that the substitute would feel that he could not leave him, lest the substitute would become self-righteous and even try to compete with him for power.

Liu Ming naturally did not want to leave Luoyang, because his status could only be established in the palace. If he were thrown into the streets, he would still be an ordinary hawker.

Moreover, there are various unstable factors hidden in the palace, especially the fact that he is a substitute must not be revealed. If he leaves and leaves Jian Shuo alone in the palace, there may not be any trouble.

However, if Li Jing can control and consolidate military power, that would be another matter. That way, you can enhance your strength in a systematic manner instead of piecemeal like now.

While Jian Shuo and Liu Ming were competing with each other, a eunuch from the Huangmen came in and reported, "Your Majesty, there is a military general outside the palace gate asking to see him. He says he is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, the chief clerk of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou."

"Lü Bu is here?" Before Liu Ming could say anything, Jian Shuo became excited and laughed loudly, "The emperor is true to his word, so your majesty will be prepared to lead the expedition in person, hahahaha... Wei Chen will go and inform the courtiers. , tomorrow the meeting will take place."

After saying that, Jian Shuo flicked his sleeves, looked up to the sky and laughed out of the palace.

He felt that in the game with Liu Ming, he finally won a round, and he could let the substitute leave the palace to feel the pain and panic of leaving the protection of a powerful minister like him.

If the substitute does not repent after experiencing suffering outside and still has wild ideas, then there is nothing to say. You have to let him disappear and choose another substitute, or simply make Liu Xie the king and continue to work. The court calls for the wind and rain.

Feeling that the general trend of the world is under his control, how can Jian Shuo be unhappy?
  "Invite Lu Bu to Changle Palace." Liu Ming ordered.

The eunuch agreed and turned around to leave.

At this time, Shi A walked in. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked to Liu Ming and whispered: "Shicai's master told me three things. One is that Jian Shuo, in the name of His Majesty, falsely conveyed an imperial edict to transfer Changsha Prefect Wucheng." Hou Sunjian went to Hangu Pass to help in the battle;
  “Second, yesterday Jian Shuo summoned the generals of Xiyuan to discuss how to deal with the other courtiers after His Majesty’s personal conquest;
  "Third, Jian Shuo asked his master to use his Jianghu status to secretly look for someone who looks and is similar in age to His Majesty. I don't know what the purpose is."

hiss~~
  Liu Ming did not expect that in just a few days, Jian Shuo had made so many arrangements, especially the last one. Apparently he felt that he was not so obedient, so he started looking for a spare tire.

After sorting it out in this way, it is not difficult to understand Jian Shuo's intention of suddenly protecting Liu Xie. It is obvious that this is all planned in case of my accident.

What accidents will happen to me? Die on the battlefield? Or is it that Jian Shuo wants to take advantage of the opportunity when he is far away from Kyoto to send someone to kill him? Then he changed to a new puppet?
  Everything is possible, provided of course that he finds a more suitable substitute.

In this case, let's do it. When I send my army back to Beijing, it will be the death of you, a person with six imperfections!

Liu Ming suddenly felt like he was letting go of his hands and feet, and the pressure on his shoulders suddenly lightened up.

Striding back to the front hall of Changle Palace, I saw the eunuch of Huangmen bringing in a young man. He was in his early twenties, about seven feet tall, with slender limbs and back, a face like Fu powder, and handsome eyes. Wearing a brocade robe, there is a sense of energy all over his body.

"I haven't met His Majesty yet," the young eunuch reminded.

The visitor knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "The last general, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, has met your Majesty. I thank you for your kindness in calling me. Although Bu is not talented, I am willing to break my body to pieces to repay your majesty for your kindness."

"Please get up first." Liu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Bu up, and looked at him carefully. Sure enough, he looked heroic, which is rare. A general with superb martial arts skills is also a handsome man.

"Fengxian came at the right time. When the imperial court is recruiting people, I have to serve as the emperor, just like the great ancestor Fan Kuai and Han Xin." Liu Ming saw the world's most powerful general kneeling in front of him, and he was a little excited. "Hurry and put down the food and wine. I want to take the lead for Feng Xian, and by the way, I’ll call Zhang Wenyuan here too.”

Lu Bu looked nervous, even a little panicked, and his hands were shaking slightly. He was a border warrior, and he didn't expect to be summoned by the emperor in person, nor did he expect to be given such high courtesy. It was like a dream.

"Your Majesty, the last general...the last general..." Lu Bu was choked for a moment and could not speak.

He was depressed at Ding Yuan's place, and now he was suddenly treated with such courtesy and respect by the emperor. The huge gap made him excited and burst into tears.

"If Wen Yuan hadn't always mentioned Fengxian's heroic deeds, I would have almost buried a rare general." Liu Ming suggested, "You have to thank Wen Yuan a lot."

Liu Ming knew that Lu Bu was arrogant and easy to let himself go, especially when he was in a high position, he was easy to be arrogant and go his own way, so he should be grateful to Zhang Liao and cooperate with each other in the future to avoid fighting with each other and causing internal friction. "Wenyuan Zhenbu's confidant." Lu Bu then knew the reason why he came to the capital and was summoned by the emperor. It turned out that Zhang Liao had said good things to him. At this moment, he suddenly regarded Zhang Liao as a brother and was grateful in his heart. Overflowing with emotion.

"I heard that Uncle Zhi (Zhang Yang) is also in the palace?" Lu Bu asked.

Among the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang had the best relationship, even better than Zhang Liao.

"Alas!" Liu Ming sighed and said, "I entrusted General Zhishu with the important task of protecting the Queen Mother when she returned to Hejian to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, there was a rebellion by Black Mountain bandits on the way. The Queen Mother was killed and General Zhang was also captured. His whereabouts are unknown."

"Ah?" Lu Bu exclaimed in surprise, and his face soon darkened. It seemed that there was a strong murderous aura overflowing from his body.

He was surprised that the Queen Mother was killed, and even more angry that Zhang Yang was captured.

"Uncle Zhi and Wen Yuan both started as captains when they entered the palace. Later, uncle Zhi was promoted to the commander of the Xiyuan Army, and Wen Yuan was promoted to the left captain of the West Military Academy." Liu Ming said, "I will temporarily designate you as the captain of the cavalry. , the starting point is higher than that of a captain. If you perform meritorious service in the future, you will be promoted based on your merit."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu quickly knelt down and thanked him again.

Liu Ming supported him and said, "There is no need to be too polite. I will lead the expedition in person today. You will have plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds."

"Is Your Majesty going to Hangu Pass to fight against Dong Zhuo?" Lu Bu asked, "Although the Xiliang army is brave, Bu regards it as a fool. There is no need for your Majesty to work. If you give the last order to the general, they can march in an instant." Ping Xiliang camp, capture Dong Zhuo's traitor alive."

"No!" Liu Ming sternly denied it and said solemnly, "I am going to crush the Black Mountain bandits and rescue Uncle Zhi Sima."

When Lu Bu heard this, his blood immediately boiled. Everyone said that the emperor's family was the most ruthless. He didn't expect that His Majesty would value love and justice so much. At that time, he felt the urge to die for His Majesty.

"Bu is willing to be a pioneer, to open roads for your majesty in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and level the Black Mountains." Lu Bu immediately knelt down and asked for orders. Firstly, he was eager to perform meritorious service to express himself, and secondly, he was worried about Zhang Yang's safety.

"There is no rush at this moment. Let's take the lead first." Liu Ming said with a smile.

He believed that with this kind of kindness, no one could poach Lu Bu away for the time being. Who could offer conditions comparable to those of the emperor? When it comes to development prospects, it is better to follow the emperor than anyone else.

Soon Zhang Liao arrived. When they saw Lu Bu, they were both overjoyed. Lu Bu was even more grateful to Zhang Liao.

Liu Ming suddenly found it interesting. Unexpectedly, Ding Yuan's powerful generals Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yang all came to the palace in the capital. Then could the remaining men under him hold Hangu Pass?
  However, with the help of the Yuan family and Sun Jian who came to help, even if Dong Zhuo cannot be defeated, holding the pass should not be a big problem.

After a long delay, Dong Zhuo will have no reinforcements behind him, and coupled with the lack of food and grass, it won't be long before the army collapses without a fight. How much fighting power can the army still have if its morale is in chaos? Just waiting to be harvested.

On the same day, Liu Ming temporarily placed Lu Bu in Zhang Liao's military camp.

Then he found Cao Cao, who was also the general he planned to take with him on this expedition. It was impossible for Jian Shuo's cronies to be taken away by him. For someone as unpopular as Cao Cao, Liu Ming wanted to take him with him on the expedition, so there was no need to worry. will be hindered.

Liu Ming told Cao Cao about his personal expedition. The most important thing was to tell him that the troops were insufficient now, so he could recruit all the heroes from his clan to help in the battle. After the war, he would be rewarded heavily.

The Cao family has too many famous generals. How long will it take to wait for more?
  Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, etc., each of them can stand alone. At the critical moment of gathering strong forces, it is necessary to use the God's perspective of the time traveler to activate these warriors scattered among the people.

Moreover, if the battle against the Black Mountain bandits is successful this time, the military strength will be greatly improved. Historically, Cao Cao's strength only grew after he put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

With a strong army and generals in hand, who dares to say no to me?
